- While it provides general skincare benefits, it does not contain targeted ingredients in sufficient concentrations to fully address your specific concerns of redness and irritation.

Questions and answers
How well does Confidence In An Eye Cream work for sensitive skin?
This eye cream works for sensitive skin, though other products fit it better. To fit this skin well, an eye care product needs exceptional safety, soothing and hydrating ingredients to address redness and irritation without irritation risks, and no fragrances or potential irritants.
Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for sensitive skin?
Niacinamide, licorice root extract, and ceramides make this cream a fit for sensitive skin by helping calm redness and irritation while supporting moisture. An eye care for sensitive skin needs soothing agents, gentle hydrators, and a fragrance-free formula to keep skin calm and hydrated without causing discomfort.
What does Niacinamide do for sensitive skin?
Niacinamide helps calm sensitive skin by strengthening the skin barrier and reducing redness and irritation. It is very well tolerated and may improve overall comfort and resilience with regular use.
What does Caffeine do for sensitive skin?
Caffeine is unlikely to irritate sensitive skin and helps calm redness by boosting microcirculation and providing antioxidant protection against UV damage. It is generally well tolerated, though sensitive skin types looking for this benefit need formulas with soothing ingredients and without harsh fragrances.
Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2013Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?
This eye cream goes after your cleanser and toner in your morning and evening routines. Sensitive skin of this type needs products that include gentle soothing ingredients like centella extract and green tea extract to better calm redness and irritation.
Can I use this cream with vitamin C, and in what order?
You can use this eye cream with vitamin C by applying your vitamin C first and letting it absorb before putting on your eye cream. Because this formula contains retinol, using them together may occasionally cause mild irritation on sensitive skin, so you might want to start slowly or use vitamin C in the morning and this cream at night.
How often should I use this cream?
You can use this cream daily, though it is an average fit for your sensitive skin because it lacks targeted ingredients in sufficient concentrations for your specific concerns of redness and irritation. A product of this type needs soothing plant extracts and skin-repairing ceramides to properly calm and comfort sensitive skin.
Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for sensitive skin?
This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for sensitive skin because it avoids harsh ingredients and features a safe formula. However, a product for this skin needs higher concentrations of targeted soothing ingredients like niacinamide and licorice root extract to better calm redness and irritation.
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no fragrance and contains drying alcohol (alcohol).
